Farm Stay U.S.

City folks have a hankering to reconnect with their
roots-or, if they're multiple generations removed from the farm, to
form new roots.
Agritourism-and "farmstays" in particular-are a way farmers
can literally cash in on this interest, while sharing their love of
land and livestock with others. In simplest terms, a farmstay is
lodging for paying guests on a working farm. Beyond that, farmstays
are as unique as farm operations. A farm family might convert a
room in their farmhouse to accommodate overnight guests,
"repurpose" an outbuilding into a sleeping cabin, or build new
accommodations specifically for farm guests.

put out by The Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture.
